Facebook censures 'nude' statue Small Mermaid. The Edward Eriksen's world-famous Danish Little Mermaid statue can not be traced by Facebook. The image would be too nude and offensive. Copenhagen's most photographed woman is bronze and has been on a rock in the harbor since 1913. It is the image of the Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale. But more than a hundred years later, Facebook labeled the classic image as offensive. Picture taken on August 15, 2017 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Photo by Robin Utrecht/ABACAPRESS.COM
